Cutting Copper & Plastic Pipe

How do I cut copper pipe? is a question we are asked early on in our DIY Plumbing Courses

As those of you who have been on our Essential Home Plumbing Course will know, cutting copper & plastic pipe is pretty straightforward, once you know the technique.

We thought it would help to make a quick video to remind you of a couple of important tips whencutting pipe, and the differnt tools you can use.

If you still feel a bit wary about doing this, or would like a bit more practice, why not sign up for one of our DIY Plumbing Courses, or check out our DIY Assist Service (we come to your home and support you with your DIY projects)

What even qualifies me to give this advice? 

Well, I have been working in the trades for many years. I’m even a qualified electrican.

I now teach DIY skills at our workshop in BRISTOL.

Keeping people safe while they carry out DIY in their homes is our No. 1 Priority.
